If you spend even half as much time poring over runway images as we do, you’ve no doubt asked yourself how you can make the season’s biggest trends your own. That’s why we’ve enlisted Senior Fashion Market Editor Mary Kate Steinmiller to get our fall wardrobes in shape with a dose of runway inspiration—and a little help from some stylish readers.

While edgylooks are in for fall, there’s a place for girly duds too. The ladylike, midi-length skirt is certainly having a moment, as are all things ’50s-inspired. Who doesn’t want to channel a little Audrey Hepburn circa Roman Holiday?

"This trend is all about Dior’s quintessential New Look silhouette, but with a modern flair," Mary Kate explains. "It’s classic elegance plus a bit of irreverence." With a full skirt as an feminine foundation, this look employs easy, breezy styling to bring it into the new millennium.
